All the rope with a value set at "5" for what I found, is an estimate because it's all wrapped in the corals and rocks and so on, fisherman just cut the line when it's entangled and from maybe 10m of depth I have to dive in a zick-zack all the way down to 30 and back up to collect one piece of line with a hook and some sinkers.
